3.0 out of 5 stars
Decent and Concise,
By K.A.Goldberg (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Major League Baseball Book of Fabulous Facts and Awesome Trivia: From the Legendary to the Obscure, 500 Baseball Questions Covering All the Numbers, the Moments, the Records, Even the Nicknames (Paperback)
Author Ken Shoulder provides a nice variety of baseball trivia questions for experts and novices alike. We get both modest and harder-to-answer questions about players, records, teams, etc. Hard-core trivia buffs will know many of the answers from this 2001 effort, and I'd have liked far more questions per team (he provides a few questions for each team). Still, this brief but fun book should be fun reading for fans of our national pastime.

This review is from: The Major League Baseball Book of Fabulous Facts and Awesome Trivia: From the Legendary to the Obscure, 500 Baseball Questions Covering All the Numbers, the Moments, the Records, Even the Nicknames (Paperback)
Has limited scope as questions are by team many of which hold little interest.

Nothing new here,
By Baseball Trivia Nut (Bryant, Arkansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Major League Baseball Book of Fabulous Facts and Awesome Trivia: From the Legendary to the Obscure, 500 Baseball Questions Covering All the Numbers, the Moments, the Records, Even the Nicknames (Paperback)
This was an OK trivia book. Standard question-and-answer format of stuff you will find in most baseball trivia books. Mostly run-of-the-mill stuff that I already knew.
